    Keppel Land to launch The Glades in 3Q

    How much would a unit cost?

    During the analyst briefing yesterday for its 1H results, Keppel Land announced that it is looking forward to launch The Glades at Tanah Mera in 3Q. Singapore Business Review's spotcheck with property agents found that the launch is probably in Mid-August.

    The Glades is an upcoming new condominium by Keppel Land Limited and China Vanke Co Ltd. The 99-year leasehold property is located near Tanah Merah MRT Station and is only a station away from the upcoming fourth university and Changi International Business Park, and 2 MRT stations to the Changi International Airport. It is consists of 9 blocks of 726 units with sizes ranging from 500 sqft - 1450 sqft. Indicative prices are not known yet but industry watchers predict over $1400psf.

    Near MRT = $1500 psf. So with more MRT stations, expect the new launches to support one another and push up the psf to mimimum $1000 psf even at not so accessible locations. In 1-2 years' time, only ECs will be below $1000 psf.

    Nope.. The risk is too high (high interest rate and low rental), upside too little.

    I will buy V on shenton instead if I have the chance. My sister bought at $2150 psf. It is a much better deal than 1.7k in Jurong I feel.

    3k psf is much much much more feasible in Marina bay than 2.5k psf in Jurong.

    They will repent when they realise the rental there is not as good as they would want it to be.

    Altez is another one to look out for I believe. 2 bedrooms average 2M. Even the buyers stretch 35 years @ 80% loan, every month still about 6.5 to 7k including maintenance and tax. Icon 2 bedroom rental around 5 to 5.5k only. And those buyers bought it much cheaper and we have skysuites 2 bedders sold at 1.2 to 1.5M. And Katong regency as well. They will repent

    I am a practical guy. I don't believe there are so many people who are willing to have negative cash flow every month. Let alone leaving it empty. A few owners maybe. Not the majority.

    By Rachel Chan

    A SHOCKING find was made by two land surveyors last Saturday afternoon when they ventured into a forested area near Tanah Merah MRT station.

    The two men discovered a skeleton under a tree in a secluded spot off New Upper Changi Road, Chinese newspapers Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News reported yesterday.

    When contacted by my paper yesterday, police confirmed that they received a call at about 3.15pm, shortly after the discovery.

    The identity of the skeleton and its gender remain a mystery. A blue T-shirt and a pair of white underwear were believed to have been left on the skeleton. A haversack was found nearby.

    The remains were surrounded by wads of $5 and $10 notes, believed to amount to more than $1,000, as well as a battered Nokia mobile phone, reported Lianhe Wanbao. The spot where the surveyors stumbled on the skeleton is a five-minute walk downslope from a nearby private estate in Jalan Limau Kastari.

    When they came to an Indian almond tree, the land surveyors were shocked to find an exposed skull, and a skeleton partially hidden by fallen leaves. The surveyors said they could not tell whether the bones belonged to a man or a woman.

    They also noticed a blue rope tied to a branch 4m above the spot where the remains were found.

    Shin Min Daily News reported that more than 20 police officers spent four hours combing an area the size of three basketball courts last Saturday afternoon. Neighbours reportedly detected a foul smell coming from the area two months ago.

    Police have classified the case as unnatural death and are investigating.

    Haiyo... Tembusu 2?

    Why nowadays they like to cover all over with greens... is it so as to cover up otherwise shoddy workmanship?

    My guess is the empty plot of land on the reserve list, waiting for a developer to trigger it for release.

    i find so long as the balcony is deep enough, is actually quite nice to have a big one.

    worst balcony are long and narrow. small ones for one two person to sit out for a smoke break also not nice. Big Big one where you can put a whole sitting area outside is actually nice.

    I'm posting on The Glades thread because, as mentioned, I am thinking about buying. However, the closer I look at SG property the less I understand it (the logic seems broken).

    I agree with the comment about the tiny units. So small it feels like a prison cell. This is a suburban development, not city. Rather than raise the price they shrink the units and hope we don't notice

    I had an agent tell me to expect The Glades to launch at minimum 1550 PSF. That means those "good facing" 1 or 2 bed could be 1700 PSF. Working on a 2 bed at 721 sqft that's 1,225,700. I checked resale units at Optima and for a same sized pool view high floor unit owners are asking approx. 1,200,000. So why would anyone buy The Glades? Optima can fetch rental income or be lived in immediately, The Glades is years away. It's a genuine question, I am confused. It will surely sell out in the blink of an eye. Is there a "more money than sense" attitude creeping in?

    Are the government really trying to cool the market or are they just trying to fill their pockets

    This is a bit of a controversial post But that's what the Internet is for, right All genuine questions.

    hi Idiot... NEW is always better to most.

    much like how men prefer to have virgin wives. some more buying a house is like one of the biggest commitment of a lifetime for most.

    nice concept but not really practical for the convertibles. esp if they price it at a premium just for that.

    for single person, most likely end up doing everything from the main sofa. it looks spacious enough for one to sleep on anyway.

    for two pax, maybe then they can have some fun and exercise while converting and transformers mode here and there on a daily basis.

    Poor jolin looks very busy converting and transforming. Cannot imagine doing this everyday. maybe after the 1 year warranty period, the transformers will start falling apart haa haa.

    But Optima only just TOP. How long does it take for it not to be considered NEW anymore? 6 months?

    Hehehehe just though that a completed house that can be income generating and lived in should sell for more than a plot of grass. Just giving a balanced view. Since the money in SG property is seemingly limitless then let me try to balance this in my own mind my by say those Optima owners are dumb and they need to jack up the asking price

    Pull-down bed? OMG. No thanks. That style I don't like (personal opinion).

    dont get me wong.... i actually agree with u.

    one of my tactic has been to buy only those that near top (within 6 mths) where their full price potential has not been reached.

    Mechanical parts are subjected to wear and tear, and you risk limbs and head injuries. They are also not cheap and a hassle to use.

    i also worry about such beds and storage that need u to open up and down...eventually the parts will spolit one. based on previous experience, must be gentle when handling retractable mechanism.

    last time my parents storage bed also not good, after sometimes, the drawers cannot pull out easily and start to wear n tear.

    i also dunno why would a person of 1 bedder SOHO will want to waste space on 2 beds (based on video example). Unless u r such a generous host who host ppl to stay in ur house almost weekly, otherwise, ur 1 bedder sld be designed according to your needs and not to how u want to cater for ur guests.
